You virtually know nothing at all about the game if you think Ronaldo or Messi or anyone else playing today is in any galaxy even close to being considered the Goat.

One has lost 3 finals in a row with what's widely regarded as the most talented forward line in International football. While the other has won a Euro while his team didn't even win a single game in regulation time. Not to mention that he didn't even play in the final game at all. These are your Goats? That's how clueless you idiots are? You honestly believe there hasn't been a better player in all of football's history? How embarrassing.

Please try to consider introducing objectivity into your little completely clueless lives. I'm tired of reading so much stupidity from people who think they have any idea about what they're talking about.

Don't believe that you're totally clueless? Name just 1 single thing any player has ever done that Diego Maradona didn't do on a football field? Just 1 thing. After you put away the excuses of older defenders and superior players of today, please name one single thing any player has done that he didn't. Other than score a bucket load of useless goals and or lose when it mattered most. Yeah, exactly.

Try educating yourselves. Go to YouTube and search for Diego Maradona. Just please stop the stupidity.

thread had potential until he started talking about some coke-head that dominated in an era where the average level was about the same as my school team, was akin to like old Wrestling days when people would become superstars because they had a moustache and could throw a few chops and the occasional suplex.

Genetic freaks like Kommander and Messi with their genius level footballing IQ's? 30 goals three months into the season if they were in that era, 100%.

Mostly what is the sense to talk about losses got by Messi ?Otherwise anyone can say that Maradona always was knocked out from Champions Cup's first round, won nothing under Barcelona, ranked in the table behind to Hellas Verona, Juventus, Milan, InterIt is football , not Superheroes drama

100% this.

Petition to have this wise and pointed sentence included as a subtitle into the GoalLegacy banner

Honestly comparing across eras is a futile effort. Messi and Ronaldo would have struggled much more in the 80s because of the worse pitches, more fouls, etc. But at the same time it's entirely possible Maradona wouldn't have had the discipline to keep up with modern standards of fitness and nutrition, and would've ended up like a Robinho or Balotelli. Everyone would've recognized his talent but he would never have fulfilled his potential because of the higher standards in training and diet.

So to say with such confidence that Maradona is the goat across all eras really only tells me that you're the one that knows "virtually nothing about football". It's enough for me to focus on the present and argue that Messi is the best of the modern era. Beyond that is just the foolish attempts of immature children to elevate their favorite player.
